Life is bigger than me

For all my posts that I have written it has taken news about my father to make me realize that I need to stop and think about others. I think God has given me a shake up and has begun to set me on a different path in my life. My father may have thyroid cancer and will have surgery to find out for sure. The doctor is almost 100% sure but needs to take it out. It has made me stop and think about how the world is a much bigger place than just me. I have to really look around me and thank god for what I have and not worry about what I don't have. Yes I have to make changes but I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and get going. No one made me pick my choices and accept what I have or have not. I have to be happy within myself and make choices that are good ones. I have to focus on my father and enjoy what time he has left. He is not well with having a bad heart and enjoy more time with him. It is hard to think about my father not being there, yes I know we all have a time to go but when you think about your parents gone it is hard to do. This teaches me that time is not on my side and I need to make the best of what I do have. I have to plan things that will make memories for my children so when my time comes it will be with a smile and less tears for them. Life is too short to feel sorry for one's self but to enjoy what is around you and your family. Who knows we could get hit from outer space and we are all gone. Does anyone care?
